By the book here

Terry Spamer reveals eye opening and shocking experiences through his work fighting animal crulety travelling the globe from Ghana, the UK over to Scandinavia throughout this book which leaves the reader in shock at the actions of the people exposed within his stories.

As I picked up this book I was captivated from start to finish hanging on Terry's every word.

He looks at Monkey smugglers, the illegal ivory trade, reindeer abuse, dog fighting rings and so much more keeping his writing interesting and educational along side pushing his message of fighting animal cruelty.
One note I would advise on is that within the book Terry gives a warning at the start of a chapter saying "if you are squeamish just skip this chapter", I then went forward thinking there will be nothing that bad but I was wrong. Now if you are squeamish then take his warning and skip that chapter but overall I think his inclusion of a very hard to read chapter did push his message of animal welfare within the book.

After finishing this book I would highly recommend it and may have to read it again.
Terry gave many eye opening experiences which were very interesting and captivating all at the same time of learning about animal welfare.

Book Review - The Little Red Wolf by Amelie Flechais

The Little Red Wolf By Amelie Flechais Buy it here Publisher: Lion Forge, LLc, The  ISBN: 9781941302453  Number of pages: 80  The Little Red Wolf is an original fairy tale for children and adults alike (maybe more for the parents) with following the little red wolf as he is sent out to deliver a rabbit for his grandmother who is to old to hunt. Upon his travels the little wolf may face some problems along the way bringing an entertaining experience matched with wonderful artwork to be enjoyed by the reader. This was a wonderful tale with inspiration from little red riding hood. I went in thinking that was what I was going to see in the story and it split off into a whole new story of it's own with a wonderful lesson that things are not always what they seem, along side to listen to your mother, especially when she tells you to avoid the humans who hate wolves. I felt this was maybe more of a darker tale for children so it's probably aimed more at either the pare
